Qatar Rail outlines design opportunities

Qatar Rail showcased architectural opportunities available in Doha Metro station works during a presentation led by the company’s procurement and architecture departments.

“Architectural Works for Doha Metro – Phase One” was organised to shed light on Qatar Rail’s procurement strategy, the packages and prequalification process, and the projects including the interior fit-out for the stations, the structure for the elevated stations as well as the landscaping plans.

Mohamed Timbely, senior director for architecture and MEP at Qatar Rail, briefed attendees on the Doha Metro’s architectural works — materials and finishes, on Qatar Rail’s architectural branding guidelines as well as on the status and opportunities for materials and FF&E (Furniture, fixtures, and equipment).

The Peninsula Qatar reported that the first phase for the project’s architectural works, covering 37 stations, is slated for completion by 2018 while the second, extending to 60 stations, is due by 2030.
